Everything was now settled.Jason felt the tattoo on his chest beginning to heat up again. He knew he had already exhausted his electricity reserve.He immediately turned toward Scarlet. "Do you have a Voltcore?""Yes, I do. What do you need it for?""Just give me one or two. Any amount you have. Be fast!""You sound so urgent."Scarlet immediately handed him four small, round, black balls.He took them from her without hesitation. Judging by their colors, he could tell that two of them were empty."Take care of the base while I'm away. I'll be back soon. For now, handle the rations yourself."Without waiting for a response, he hurried off."Wait! What are you talking about?" Scarlet called after him, but he had already disappeared into the underground passage.Then an idea struck him. He took one of the Voltcores that still contained electricity and pressed it against his red tattoo. However, nothing happened. He couldn't feel the tattoo drawing any electrical energy from it.He brou

“And you're certain you have enough resources to upgrade your base and provide clothes and bedsheets for our women and children?” Timon pressed.“I assure you that I can provide all of those things. I can even supply clean water.”As he spoke, Jason took out a bottle of water and handed it to Timon.Timon accepted it, staring at the contents through the transparent container.The water was crystal clear.He couldn't remember the last time he'd seen water this clean. Even a single cupful would have been worth fighting over in the apocalypse.He carefully removed the cap and brought the bottle to his lips.The moment he took a gulp, his eyes widened. The refreshing liquid slid down his throat, and before he realized it, tears had gathered in his eyes.When had he last tasted water this good?No, he had never tasted water this good in his entire life.Even rainwater had become blackish and unpleasant, retaining its foul appearance and taste even after processing. As the days passed, peop

The entire Tiger Camp rushed out to confront the trespassers. However, when Timon saw the red-dressed girl, he lowered his guard slightly.“That girl is Scarlet,” he said.“Yes, I know her,” someone beside him replied.Scarlet had been a member of their camp for about two months before leaving. She was a good person and a powerful fighter.During her time with them, she had increased their overall strength, allowing them to hunt more Void Creatures and zombies.Timon had a favorable impression of Scarlet, but he remained guarded, especially since he didn't recognize the young man walking beside her.“Lower your weapons, but stay alert. Raise them again immediately if anything goes wrong,” he ordered.The guards promptly obeyed, lowering their weapons without releasing their grips.A moment later, Scarlet and the young man approached.“Long time no see, Timon!” Scarlet greeted him with a smile.“It's been a long time, Scarlet. I thought you'd never return to our camp,” Timon replied.“

“So, what exactly is this mission you keep talking about?”“First, we need to gather some essentials. How much do you think we could get for half the supplies here?” Jason asked.Scarlet stared at him as though he had lost his mind. “You want to give away our food? Are you all right? Do you even understand what you’re saying?”“Yes, I know exactly what I’m saying.” Jason remained unfazed by her reaction. “Besides, I can replenish our supplies whenever necessary. Right now, securing this place is our priority. We need weapons and a few capable people to guard it.”“What about recruiting more people?” Scarlet suggested, gradually warming to the idea. “If you can spare enough food, I’m sure you can convince others to join us.”“I’ve thought about that, too. But before we bring anyone in, we need to hide most of our supplies somewhere only you and I can access. That way, nobody will know exactly how much food we have. As long as we continue providing them with enough food and clean water,

Eventually, he disconnected the wires and carefully wrapped them in insulating material.With that done, he returned to the living room, gathered all the groceries and food supplies, and sent everything into the mysterious space.He then went back to his room and closed his eyes. As he focused his thoughts on the apocalypse, he suddenly felt an invisible force pulling him into something resembling a bottomless void.The sensation lasted only a moment.In the next instant, the atmosphere around him changed.When he opened his eyes, he found himself inside the room he had ran into the other day.His first thought was Scarlet. Was she still around, or had she left in anger after waiting for him?He peered into the living room and spotted her sitting on one of the old cushions, staring blankly into space.Rather than approach her, he headed straight for the kitchen. Once there, he waved his hand, and a large quantity of groceries and food supplies appeared before him.As he surveyed the k

Anna finally agreed to handle the paperwork. She prepared the necessary documents before asking Jason to make the transfer."Normally, I would have asked you to transfer $70,000 since you're only staying for two months. Our policy requires anyone staying for less than six months to pay an additional $10,000. But because it's you, I'll waive that fee.""You don't have to do that, but I appreciate it," Jason replied."I have to. This is the least I can do to support your independence from your wife, assuming that's really what you're doing," she said cautiously.She still remembered what Jason had been like before, so she wasn't entirely convinced that he intended to leave Emmanuella for good. She hoped he was serious about changing, but experience had taught her not to trust his promises too easily.Jason made the payment and signed the necessary documents."If you don't mind, I'll personally drive you to your mansion." Anna opened a drawer and retrieved her car keys."I don't mind. Th
